A Review of the Tour of Overbrook
  Last Tuesday, I visited Overbrook School for the Blind.  I was able to visit the classroom of the ninth graders. While I was there I saw a friend of mine and was able to “see” a few other people that I know.  Having these connections I believe will strongly impact my future there.  Mr.  Lee, the teacher, was very nice, and in my opinion a very effective teacher.  I preceded to visit the library, field house, the aquatic center and the track.  I love the technology that Overbrook has integrated in to their system.  For example, the aquatic center as technology that allows a blind person to know where the lanes of the pool are so that they are able to participate in swim meets.  I was able to see many different programs at the school while I was there, and  I believe that all of the programs are fun, and challenging.  All in all, I think that the school is very innovative and and interesting.

Positively Panerra!

The review of Panera Bread

Today, I had the pleasure of going to the Panera Bread.  The broccoli and chetter soup that started off my meal was superb.  The large, thick, and overall delicious chicken chipotle sandwich was fantastic.  I loved the deliciousness of the chipotle mayonaise combined with the diced chicken.  The combination of the spinach, and bread helped blend the sandwiches several flavors in to one amazing taste.  The soft m&m cookie was delicious as well.  I would advise all those who can, to go to "The Panera Bread."

"Schmooze" - Much More Than "Scmutz"!

Review of Schmooze Deli 

Yesterday I was able to visit Schmooze Deli.  While there, I had various kinds pickles.  Most of the pickles were bitter and were unpleasant.  I would not recommend them to you.  The bacon blue cheese burger that followed was delicious.  The rather large burger was cook medium and everything on the burger blended well with each other.  I could not find one criticism to make about the burger or the delicious french fries.  The miniature chocolate covered cheese cake that was my desert was also superb.  The flavorful cake couldn't have tasted better, and I would recommend this cake to anyone who is in the mood for it.  So all in all, I believe this restaurant is fantastic, and I would definitely go there again.

"Corrupted Cake"

"Corrupted "Cake"

Today for lunch, I proceeded to go to the restaurant "Cake." The cheese stake with caramelized unions I had was mediocre at best.  The tender stake was disappointing with very little flavor.  The sweet, caramelized onions over powered the rest of the stake, and really corrupted the flavor of the delicious cheese.  The slightly crispy roll blended well with the all-too tender stake.
  Following the stake was a dish of inedible, dry, raw, and overall unflavored coleslaw.  This dreck, in my opinion should never be eaten by people or animals alike.  This was very disappointing as was the chocolate cupcake that followed.  The too moist, bland-iced, cupcake really was disappointing considering the restaurant is known for their bakery.  I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone, but hope their food improves in time.
